Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF

This plugin aim to facilitate the creation and validation of Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG or COGEO). While it respects the COG specifications, this plugin also enforce several features:

• Internal overviews (User can remove overview with option --overview-level 0)
• Internal tiles (default profiles have 512x512 internal tiles)

Important: Starting from GDAL 3.1 a new COG generator driver will be added (doc, discussion) and will make rio-cogeo kinda obsolete.
